The Lions of Marash, by Stanley E. Kerr (Albany, 1973), in 352 searchable and bookmarked pdf pages, with numerous rare photos. A Wikipedia entry (Stanley Kerr) describes the life and activities of this doctor and great humanitarian, who was an eye-witness to the annihilation of the Armenian population of Marash, Turkey, following World War I, and did what he could to save lives: "A clinical biochemist at Walter Reed Hospital, he left the United States in 1919 to serve as a volunteer for Near East Relief. He began his service in Aleppo during an Armenian refugee crisis when many of the survivors of the Armenian Genocide had escaped. He worked as a medical and sanitary officer. He also worked to recover Armenian children from the Kurdish and Turkoman families into which they had been forced." The book is subtitled "Personal experiences with American Near East Relief 1919-1922." This is a major source for the study of the Armenian Genocide. Scanned by Robert Bedrosian.
